Quidway S3900 Series Ethernet Switches-Release 1510 Chapter 3 RIP Configuration
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
3-5
Operation Command Description
Enable the interface to
receive RIP update
packets
rip input
Enable the interface to
send RIP update
packets
rip output
Run RIP on the
interface
rip work
Optional
By default, except for
loopback interface, all
interfaces are allowed
to send and receive
RIP packets.
III. Specifying the RIP version on an interface
Table 3-4 Specify the RIP version on an interface
Operation Command Description
Enter system view

Specify RIP version on
the interface
rip version { 1 | 2 [ broadcast |
multicast ] }
Optional
By default, the RIP
version on an interface
is RIP-1, and the
interface can receive
RIP-1 and RIP-2
broadcast packets but
send only RIP-1
packets. When
specifying the RIP
version on an interface
to RIP-2, you can also
specify the mode
(broadcast or multicast)
to send RIP packets.
3.4 RIP Route Control
In actual implementation, it may be needed to control RIP routing information more
accurately to accommodate complex network environments. By performing the
configuration described in the following sections, you can:
z Control route selection by adjusting additional routing metrics on interfaces
running RIP.
z Reduce the size of the routing table by setting route summary and disabling the
receiving of host routes.
z Filter the received routes.
